Usage notes

As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Viennese", "writing about Viennese cuisine as a Viennese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Viennese") or with a word like person, man, or woman ("writing about Viennese cuisine as a Viennese person").
